The shaving cream guy did the world a disservice; instead of talking about the Murdochs’ absolutely appalling performance in that hearing, the media is now chattering away about his wife’s “brave” response to the attacker.

Meanwhile, the finance media is slapping themselves on the back about how Murdoch has shored up his position in Newscorp because he “did so well”. They must have been watching a different hearing than the one I did, because Murdoch came across as a man who is too old to handle a company that size now, and James as just another slimy manager with an MBA who talks too much about nothing.
